Backstage Lights–Ryan Catney Judy inc. Stylist

Before I met Ryan Catney I had heard so much about him all good things of course but that did not mean I was at all prepared for my first Ryan meeting; he is adorable and has the prettiest blue eyes; not only that but he is hilarious and kept me steadily laughing the night we met.

I met him for the first time at the Shad K/ Decisive video release party. He and a close friend of mine had worked on the video together. Now, we arrived at the video release party a couple of hours before the video was premiered and we needed to entertain ourselves which we did thoroughly. I swear our little circle was having the most fun that night. We talked fashion, music, stereotypes, make-up, hair, modelling etc… We got to know each other and made the best of the situation. So naturally Ryan was one of the first people I thought of when I decided to do this blog. I figured everybody needs to be made aware of how fabulous Ryan is, so…

Read on and get to know Ryan Catney fashion and wardrobe stylist.

How did you become a stylist?

It was my mom’s suggestion, she knew people and I was looking for direction. I knew I wanted to get into fashion but didn’t know what to do so she suggested that I speak to Tracy at Judy inc. she gave me some really good advice and hooked me up with a stylist of hers named Michelle Lyte. Michelle was working on Canada’s Next Top Modelat the time and Tracy told me that I was either going to hate it or love it. After working on the show I decided I loved it.
